Detailed explanation-1: -In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immigrants boost output and employment of the host country, create new opportunities for native workers, provide skills needed for economic growth, generate new ideas, stimulate international trade, and contribute positively to long-term fiscal balances.
Detailed explanation-3: -Immigrants also make an important contribution to the U.S. economy. Most directly, immigration increases potential economic output by increasing the size of the labor force. Immigrants also contribute to increasing productivity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Immigration fuels the economy. When immigrants enter the labor force, they increase the productive capacity of the economy and raise GDP. Their incomes rise, but so do those of natives.
